Benefits Of A Dog Snap Around Collar
from: Kyle BesserA dog slip-on collar is usually made of chain or nylon and easily slips over a dog's head. Dog slip-on collars are generally too big to be an effective training tool, and dog slip-on collars have a poor safety record.
Dog slip-on collars pose a danger to the trachea and spine of the dog. Studies have shown a high incident of significant tracheal and spinal injuries to dogs that are trained with dog slip-on collars. Animal chiropractors have made similar observations of spinal misalignment caused by the use of dog slip-on collars.
The main difference between dog slip-on collars and dog snap around collars is that dog snap around collars have a clasp that enables you to fasten the collar around the dog's neck instead of having to slip it over the dog's head. Being able to fasten the dog snap around collar around the dog's neck instead of having to slip it over the dog's head allows you to fit the dog snap around collar high on the dog's neck where you have the most control. Dog slip-on collars slide down to the point where the dog's neck joins the shoulders, which is the strongest area of the dog's body and you have less control.
Dog snap around collars are the first choice for many dog owners because of its effectiveness and versatility. The dog snap around collar consists of a clasp on one side, a ring on the other side and a loose or floating ring made of nylon or some other material that won't fray or stretch.
A dog snap around collar is fitted to be snug high up on the dog's neck. With a dog snap around collar, a leash correction to the dog doesn't require as much force and is less likely to damage the dog's windpipe.
The dog snap around collar should fit your dog properly. The dog snap around collar should sit just below the dog's ears. Measure the circumference of the dog's neck directly behind his ears with a measuring tape to get the exact length needed. Dog snap around collars come in 1/2 inch increments to allow proper sizing.
For safety and effectiveness, avoid using a dog slip-on collars because it is not a very effective way to begin your training. It is better to use a training aid that works better and is safer for your dog, such as the nylon dog snap around collar.
